    ESPN's Way-to-Early Top 25 in WBB for 24-25 lists the Cyclones at #10. What do you think?

    I appreciate everyone's comments here. Throughtful and reasoned. I agree with the majority that #10 may be a bit ambitious right now; we will miss Diew more than most people think, unless we find a replacement. Nice to see the Clones get some lovin' from ESPN for a change. Times really are...

    ESPN's Way-to-Early Top 25 in WBB for 24-25 lists the Cyclones at #10. What do you think?

    So ESPN ranks the Women 'Clones at #10. Interestingly, that places ISU above any other B12 WBB team; Baylor is #13. ESPN places high praise on Audi Crooks, suggesting she should appear on numerous pre-season All-American lists. ESPN got one thing right - it is way too early. But it is fun to...

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    It's a moot point but Clark hit a 3 with 7:05 left in the 4th quarter.

    TJ is my coach of the year!

    Well, it's finally over

    I am sorry the Hawks lost, but glad South Carolina won. It was a great game to watch. I think the Hawks have some really nice kids on that team, like Stuelke and Martin; don't have as good a feel for some of the others, but it's hard for me to hate them and I'm as fervent a Cyclone fan as there...

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    Agreed. Reese was never the same after the injury. And she;s so important inside at both ends that losing a step and unable to jump the way she normally does doomed the tigers. One other thing. Last year in the final, if my memory is correct, Clark got called for pushing off; that had a big...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    This game was over when Reese got injured. She never played the same since. Give her credit for trying, but she clearly lost a step or two.

    Kayden Fish going portaling

    While this "new era" of college BB is tough for fans like us - and for coaches too, I am sure - it must be really, really difficult for kids coming out of HS. If I understand the rules for D1 BB, the signing period for NLI ends on May 15th this year, and the transfer portal closes 45 days after...

    *** Official #10 Illinois vs #4 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***

    I have a different take on this game. It wasn't pretty, by any means, but for a team with such low expectations at the start of the season, I am really proud of them. I had a lot of fun watching these guys, they won the B12 t'ment by smoking Houston and they made it to the Sweet 16. My hat is...

    2024 Transfers

    OOps. Sorry. Didn't know there were threads for individuals. Happy she gets the extra recognition, as she was all in for the Clones. But I have limited time to spend on such sites, so I miss a few of these.

    2024 Transfers

    According to "The Nexthoops" website, Diew has entered the portal as well. Don't know how good a site they are.

    2024 Transfers

    Writing about women and thinking about men. Good catch on your part. Maybe my internal psyche was thinking they should still be playing.

    2024 Transfers

    Wisconsin is still a LONG way from Toronto; southern MI is an option, if being a bit closer to home is a goal. In less driving time from her home, she could perhaps also find a school in NY, PA, OH, and VT. Hopefully there would be lots of options for her there. My main hope is she gets some...

    Time for a Real Discussion About Caitlin Clark

    Not surprised Georges takes the high road - and I agree with him. I understand the angst about her attitude; I get why people don't like that. But it can't be denied that she has attracted a lot of eyeballs and attention to WBB and she does fill arenas. Personally, rather than rag on Clark, I...

    Twister Sister Summary - Season closes in epic fashion

    100%. Audi is the type of player who learns from her experiences. And she doesn't get bratty when things don't go her way. She had an amazing year and ran into the twin towers, both All Americans, both McDonald All Americans out of high school, amd both upper classmen, who were literally draped...

    2024 NCAA Tournament Thread

    Totally agree. Audi is a freshman that many thought at the start of the season would see limited playing time. And here we are in the Round of 32 as a starter. And as a freshman, she was up against two Mcdonald All American's (Brink and Iriafen) who are now a senior and junior, respectively. And...

    30 FT for Iowa; just 5 for WVU, but some of those were intentional by WVU at the end of the game

    ***NCAA Second Round: (7) Iowa State at (2) Stanford [Sun., 9:00 CT]***

    Only one negative about this, and previous games. Can we give the whining about refs a break. It is unseemy, and frankly poor sportsmanship. I remember years ago a guy on our team commented that the only time you can complain about refs is when you win - and then you don't care. Give it a break...

    ***NCAA Second Round: (7) Iowa State at (2) Stanford [Sun., 9:00 CT]***

    So very, very proud of our girls. They way exceeded expectations against Stanford. When it was tied at the end of the third, I thought they could pull this off. They lost to a much higher seed but come back to Ames with their heads held high. Especially happy for Emily. OMG. 36 point and 9...

    ***NCAA First Round: (7) Iowa State vs. (10) Maryland [Fri., 6:30 CT]***

    My apologies to BF. I questioned his coaching in the first half but he made all the right adjustments in the second, and the women responded. Hats off to BF and hats of to the players. Amazing comeback. And an amazing Audi!!
